Robert Pattinson is MAD. Mad, I Say!

You've been a very, very naughty Twidom. Come here...

HI!!!

Probably nobody has noticed, but I've been absent for the last week-ish. Your grandfather only turns 95 once, people - and then only if you are super lucky! - and I was off noting & celebrating the occasion with as much fanfare as possible and doing the family thaaaang in Savannah (more on that some other day - like it or not).

As usual, the minute I go offline, stuff happens. And this time, stuff really REALLY happened!!! I was certain that the texts I was getting from Jenny Jerkface and the crew were ridiculous April Fool's jokes that would end with me getting Rick Rolled [Note from JJ: er, I actually did this on Twitter, btw], but nope, this was the real deal. Sister Snarky doubted the authenticity of "The Video Clip" as we sat in a suburban Hampton Inn, slack-jawed, hovering over the computer. While she had responded very enthusiastically when I popped my head up from the laptop and whispered "want to see leaked footage from Breaking Dawn?", it quickly became obvious that she is not quite the rabid fan I am... The look she shot me when she was all "well that's GOT to be fake!" and I came back with "Oh no, that's definitely him - I can tell from that mole on his back" didn't say "But of course - how silly of me! Good call!" as much as it said "This would be easier if you were smoking crack because I'm not sure how to stage this intervention." [note to all the TV execs out there: I own the rights to "Twintervention", ok??? Let's talk...]

Twitter may have gone more nuts over the BD leaks than it did over THIS.Rumor has it that even the Fail Whale popped a chubby last week.

I wasn't able to spend more than a few seconds here and there online while I was away (see earlier note about significance of 95th b-day, and I am actually capable of not fondling my smartphone 24/7 in times of need), but I was anxiously awaiting the post where I would get to see ALL the goods! Bring it on!!! SQUEEE!!! I knew I had missed a lot by being absent in the nanosecond that the leaked images swept the web, but I was sure I would be in for a treat later that night when Jenny Jerkface poster her...music recommendations?? OK, fine, JJ shames me with her music prowess AND she made me snortle with her talk of the leaks before she got in to the music, but it's possible that my "WHAT THE FUCKING FUCKITY?!" was heard all the way back in New Jersey (although the comments slayed me - and the one left by Rizity - "Two Hands on a Headboard would be an awesome band name. The opening act (opening, lol) Could be My Flaming Panties." made me choke). I had no kinder words as I made my way back to beautiful Newark Liberty Airport and noted the Sunday night arrival of Latchkey Wife's Water For Elephants Extravaganza. The first anonymous person in the comments who said something to the effect of "HELLOOOO?!? All those pictures?! That video?! Where the fuck have you guys BEEN?!" could have been written by me (but wasn't - I would have used my name).

So yeah, I was pissed, too. But here's the thing: we could lose the blog if we posted any of those photos. Like "POOF!"-gone lose... It hasn't happened recently, but over the years blogs have been shut down over similar incidents. And we're all too lazy to back this shit up somewhere, so it would just be gone forever. Granted, we're not a huge blog and we don't get millions of hits a day, but we can't exactly fly totally under the radar of Scummit's legal department these days, either, given how bloated it appears to be with eager law-school-grad go-getters who are apparently paid good money (thanks to the coffers we've collectively stuffed to maximum capacity) to do nothing but sling shit and see where it lands.

But the more important take away from the last few days - maybe - is that fact that Robert Pattinson is genuinely pissed about the leaked footage (and I mean that in the American "I am so fucking mad!" sense, not the British "I drank too much and am now making a spectacle of myself!" sense).

The general gist of the video above, from HERE, is that RPatts is not happy with the leaks...or maybe it's the leakers, so to speak.

Robert Pattinson tells MTV's Josh Horowitz that [...] he wants Twilight fans to "punish" those who have leaked photos and screengrabs from the Breaking Dawn set.

"I want the Twilight troops to mobilize, the good fans, and find out who these little shits are, and just hack into their computers and destroy them!" Pattinson then adds: "I think it's like a little ring, and they behave as if … They have this little clique, and they keep to themselves. It's so disgusting… Why do this maliciously? You're not a fan. You're just a dick."

Pattinson ends his (fully understandable) rant with the following:

"I'd understand it more if they sold the stuff. But, it's like, 'Oh, you just want to be annoying.' Especially when you work on something for eight months. It's an exciting movie. Everything is so different. A lot of people work really, really hard. And it's raw footage. It's not even what people are going to see. Idiots!"

_________________________

Personally? I think this is residual transfer-rage from "Jumping-EdPattzGate."

Soooooo... What say you??? Did we finally sorta get what we kinda always wanted? Robert Pattinson wants to punish us? Does he get what having to wait all this time - when we are used to reasonably instant gratification, movie-wise! - has made us all go nuts just a tiiiiny bit??? Or were you bummed that he was genuinely mad??? Did it make you feel a little ashamed, a little diiiirty??? Or do you not give a crap who thinks what as long as those jeebus-christmas-on-a cracker SO hawt pics keep coming from who-knows-where???

I'm not sure about the shirt or the styling in this pic in general,but he looks mighty stern and I'd still let him spank me...

P.S. We cannot post the pics or links to them here. But it's a free country (world!), so ask for what you want in the comments and maybe someone will take pity and send you something...

P.P.S. I won't be able to send anything - work it out amongst yourselves, people. Good luck and God speed.

Non-Mad-Patts-related-P.P.P.S. Here's a VERY late update from last weeks WNTW-ish contest: Kintail FTMFW! And I am such a late-ass lame-o that I am giving away my copy of Clinton Kelly and Stacy London's "Dress Your Best" to a runner-up in order to atone - congrats, Lisa! Check the comments here for details!

i had to quickly scroll down to tell you that the mental image from "fail whale popped a chubby" made me throw up a little in my mouth. not only am i deathly afraid of whales and their ability to possibly eat me, now i am afraid of them trying to rape me too. thanks for that. ;)

If I was an actor, I would really freak over something like this. I mean, it's probably hard enough [TWSS] to get nekkid (or nearly nekkid) and do a sex scene while strangers are filming it. You have to trust that everyone present during filming, and involved in the editing process, will be respectful. I would be livid.

I should also say that this has convinced me I won't be able to watch Bel Ami. I only have one ovary left, and it's not like I need it for anything, but to knowingly subject myself to something that is going to make it explode is a bit scary! Holy shitballs those pictures died me! Unf!

The funny thing to me is that it couldn't have been a fan that posted the pictures and video... it had to be someone at the studio so "police your own" doesn't apply to the fandom. If anyone needs to police their own it's him and his non-twitter-tight-lipped group of movie "people" who don't realize that we all know what's going to happen in the movie anyway because it's a movie based on a BOOK!

And like we're not going to pass a bit of Rob back porn? PULEESE! We don't even CARE if it's going to be in the movie, we just want to see him bouncing like he's fucking someone so we can all pretend like it's us under there. The seedy-back-alley quality of the footage only adds to the turn-on while watching it.

Let's not forget (when we can get around the gagging) why Paris Hilton made it big... and it wasn't because of a fully-polished-and-edited TV show.

I like my Rob angry (ssooooo sexy) Sadly I saw the twitter posts but wasn't able to check them out right away...damn. But I completely understand you gals not posting them. Losing this website would make me curl up in a ball in the woods like Bella in NM. But I must say the last pic of Rob made me want to lick my computer screen.

@Lila - lmfao!! it's so true - who cares what is going in the movie or not?! like anything we have seen could possibly ruin ANYTHING!!! ok, going to bed now - gonna do a little "pretending" and hope for pleasant dreams!

@kg - er, sorry, bb. for reals.

@the rugby mom - totes agree - it's a tad scary/unsettling that someone so close was traitorous-y, iykwim... sucks, on some level, but lucky us! seriously, i am sorry if it upset him, but hft we NEEDED that! freaking NOVEMBER 2012 before we see any of this action, people. I won't even remember what my own name is by then...

I totally get that he is pissed but if Scummit would just throw us a bone (pun intended)and give us something to chew or suck on for the next eleventy million days we might not be so rabid....well that's not true, but you get what I mean right? We are all in this together people. Twilight would not be this big without those of us that are going apeshit over these photos/videos....Twilight would not be so big without all the free hype and promo that free blogs provide for Scummit and their precious movie franchise. It is not right to hack into something illegally but it is also not right for Scummit to piss on those that made them. This leak has hurt no one....really. If anything it has created hype where there was some serious lagging of interest going on. No one should have to wait as long as we have with so little to hold our interest. NOW, I am interested.

@Lila--I am with you sister. Whoever leaked those photos couldn't possibly simply be a fan....it reeks of and inside job. That, or we have some pretty tech savvy folks out in the fandom....let's make sure we recruit them to live in Twitardia....you know so they can hack into offshore accounts and make us all riiiiiiich!

Oh, and have I mentioned that angry Rob makes me tingle? It is true. I kind of want to hold him and tell him it will all be OK....and when he is good and relaxed, well.....fade to black....or not.

a fan did not leak those pics. someone at summit did. there were to many different scenes for it to be one crazy fan lurking around taking pics and then saving them to have one giant BD spoilerathon. summit has to say they don't like it but really they are the douchebags. how long has it been since eclipse came out and how long are they going to drag BD out? yeah theyre trying to keep the interest going. think about how much free publicity this film has gotten in the last couple of days.

i really think rob was reacting to these leaks so strongly because his email has gotten hacked into. i understand that, i think thats crossing a line. but a little movie leakage, thats pretty common. scummit is being its usual douchey self.

@STY - WooHoo! I'll be busting out the elastic waist jeans for one last round before I get schooled! Best part - they can't jump out of the book and make me throw anything away!

@VR- I totally (that first came out as "titally"!) agree. Summit needs to loosen it's grip. I don't mean to the New-Moon-we've-seen-the-whole-damn-movie level, but at least a thing or two. Cause I'm thinking by the time we see Elephantward and BelAmi's Cadward, prissy little BDward is gonna be a little boring.

I've also decided that movie/TV sex scenes between actual couples are kinda creepy. I'm so glad Sooky dumped Bill. Now we just need Edward to dump Bella...

Too bad MTV bleeped out the good parts - coulda been some awesome ringtones there. Allthough nothing can top "glitterlube"

For the love of Edward and all that is Twilight, can someone please send me whatever still exists from this leak? If there's anyone out there who'd bust out their cell to make a video copy of Thrustward (knowing full well that Scummit would pull any online copies down), I have faith that that person is part of Twitardia. Please, show me my faith is well placed!

I was dealing with crap this weekend and totally missed the internet blow up... getting caught up now and can't find a damn thing anywhere. If you can send anything at all, my email is tkelleher75 at g mail dot com.

I am trying to see how the leaked footage & stills actually hurts anyone. Please Rob, explain it to me. He is definitely angry about it. He said in one interview that he keeps wanting to say that he wants the hackers to die but realizes that he can't say that.

I think the leaks come from someone involved with the filming, not a "fan". Logically, it creates buzz about the movie as filming is wrapping up.

Do they really think we're going to say "I don't have to see the movie now because I saw a few seconds of grainy video and some stills?". For me, the only thing that ruins the movie is the screenplay. Other than that, it's all good.

LMFAO@ "Rumor has it that even the Fail Whale popped a chubby last week."

I can't not look. And the threat of punishment from RPattz only makes me tingle, and not out of fear! I don't like that the pictures might have been hacked (yeah Scummit, I still think you were responsible). But I can justify looking because I have and will spend gobs of money on movie tickets, merch and dvds.

Honestly, between Thrustward and that headboard picture, it's amazing that I've accomplished anything since Thursday!!

What would scummit do if we didn't give Breaking Dawn a second thought until November? No web searches, no blog posts. Just let it go completely silent. Premier night, no one lines up. Opening weekend we pass and go later in the week. We only see it in the theatre once. DVD sales? Let's get it from the library or pass a copy around. They have been so pissy with us I kinda would like to see them take a huge dump on this movie.

I missed it all....but when I wasn't laughing reading all of the above, I was thinking: What about the haters (including some on the inside)? The strength of Twi hate--or is it driven by some other powerful emotion?--never ceases to amaze. And alot of it is powered by Robward, as if pissing him off is some payback for the haters' knowledge that neither the real person or the character would touch them with a ten-pole stick.Whereas the Twi fans of a certain age, at least, can hold out hope that given the right circumstances, we could lie down with him and more.

Be angry all you want, Rob. Angry Rob is niiiiiccccceeeee. I think it was an inside job. In fact, I think Kris and Rob practice "method" in their acting and the "THRUSTWARD" video was them practing the positioning and facial movements so that they could watch on playback as to not "reveal" their true expressions and show more of a"Bella"and "Edward" expressions. LOL.

It's all a little suspect with the timing on the heels of Stephenie Meyer's recent interview and Rob's WFE press junkets.

I rationalize that we saw a lot of pictures of scenes that were already nixed to the cutting room floor and had they not been leaked we might have never seen them. And if that's not the case, then just more to look forward to when the movie comes out to see what was kept in!

Has anyone considered that Rob is so pissed about the sex scene leaks because he and Kristen are really together so therefore said scenes are way more personal to him than in a normal acting situation? This kind of makes me want to comfort him even more (in my special way) BUT when it gets right down to it....you were acting a part ON FILM for the entire universe to see.... Also that is raw footage, skip the editing please.....keep it all in there Scummit.

Oh and FTR, the email hacking is total bullshit. That would infuriate me too.

P.S. That story apparently started in The Mirror, for fuck's sake. It would be like believing that aliens are real and vampire babies exist and the world will end in 2012. Oh wait isn't all that true??? [jk...]

Dangit! Now I feel kinda bad. A little. Maybe. That sucks that someone hacked into the footage or whatever & if I was an actor or director or someting I would be really pissed also. However, I haven't even been thinking about Twilight lately & now I am excited for it to come out again. It's been all about WFE lately! Now at least I KNOW I'll have something to look forward to in November. LOL!

...besides, everyone knows that Robsten are contractually obligated to stay together through the release of BDII.

; )

oh and jftr, it would have been nice to see Rob get mad at SUMMIT and not the fans, unless he happened to have a gaggle of us lurking around what I am sure was a VERY closed set. I'm a little ticked at his misdirected anger, actually. Email hacking aside. Because that was just wrong.

Thanks STY. I'm so glad to know its not true. I know, time for me to register with a real name instead of commenting as "anonymous" all the time--sorry, I've been lazy--even tho I have been checking in here daily for awhile!

I would say I feel bad about the leak but i have my suspicions that Summit may have leaked the pics themselves, even if they did say they didn't. I highly doubt there is some uber-hacker Twilight fan who did this.

But it does suck if someone hacked into his email account. I'd be pissed as shit if someone did that to me.

Me being the person I am, I did not look at any of the pictures or videos. Mostly I want to see the movie when it comes out and not before. Personally I "ruined" my New Moon experience by seeing most of it beforehand so I promised myself to be better and I did for Eclipse and I enjoyed it more because I didn't know what was going to be shown.

I am glad that Rob was mad - I always try to think about how I would feel if I worked hard on something either a book or a movie or a song and someone took it without my knowledge or consent and sent it around to people. I know I would be angry. I would want a certain impact to be made with my item and if it were just given away freely before it was even complete, well I would not like it. But it is going to happen especially in this technology run world so there is not much that can be done. It is an individual choice and mine is to not look or watch and hopefully people would be respectful of that with me as I am about them wanting to look at it all :) Just my 2 cents :)

Im really behind on the Twi-new too. I missed all the leaked photos and what nots...Im so sad I want to see Thrustward. :( The fail whale with a chubby...oh I so died of laughter, thank you for that..lol

Whalefail chubby..pmsl. Lila,VitaminR70, I agree with both ya'll...I couldn't help it..There WAS a drought of Robporn..and we were all itching for some new eyegasm...and this was *overlode*..Sorry Rob..It doesn't change anything...it actually makes us MORE in love with Mr. Patts....patiently awaiting a headboard dream....great post..see you soon..

@libbybelle That is definitely dubbed with the New Moon birthday kiss, but you're right, sofa king hawt! It was great soundless, smokin' with the sound. My hat's off to whoever did that.

@STY I did see a recent interview (don't remember by who) where they showed him some different 'jumping Rob' pics and he did laugh and said they were very good/funny showing he has a sense of humor. Paraphrasing he did say something like this did have to happen the first time he actually tried jumping into water. It must have been during one of the many WFE interviews.

Like a car crash, I didn't want to look, but I did. I didn't go looking for them, but when they were emailed to me, I got sucked in. I know this is going to sound stupid, but I was already feeling guilty about it. It did feel dirty. It was too much. I didn't want to see the key scenes. Sure these are probably cutting room floor images and footage, but they were still from the big scenes. The only thing major missing was the wedding, which they haven't filmed yet. So here comes the stupid part. When Rob looked into the camera and said he was upset, I was all "Rob has spoken" and I stopped looking. I haven't even been on tumblr since then because I didn't want to run across any more.

Having said that, Thrustward was fucking hot. And I may have watched the clip set to the New Moon birthday kiss audio 1700 times ;)

@OutOfMyElement - It was Josh Horowitz from MTV who showed Rob the Jumping Rob pics. He asked Rob if he had heard of the Jumping Rob Meme. Too fun(ny).

Yeah I don't really think it was some hacker that posted these photos and vids but someone with Scummit trying to bring interest back into the film... they are crazy making us wait so long with nothing but a shot of the "Swan house at Christmastime" WTFEVER!!! I love angry Rob but I don't think his anger was aimed in the right direction.. but it's not like you're gonna outright say anything bad about the people that sign your checks... well maybe we would lol but I don't think Rob would. Anyh00r, I did feel a little like he was talking directly to me bc I couldn't share the stuff fast enough (although I would never post them I can't afford Scummit to sue me over a Tubmblr/Facebook/Twitter/Blogger account.)

So angry Rob if you still need to get your aggressions out I'll willingly take the punishment... not gonna lie I might like it ;)

does Rob really think that someone in the fandom stole those leaks? that seems a little far fetched to me. i honestly believe that summit let those things leak, it's a total publicity stunt. this is scummit we are talking about.

@STY, you crack me up, and although the mental image of a whale popping a boner grosses me out, it was still hilarious. no worries. :)

Me being the person I am, I did not look at any of the pictures or videos. Mostly I want to see the movie when it comes out and not before. Personally I "ruined" my New Moon experience by seeing most of it beforehand so I promised myself to be better and I did for Eclipse and I enjoyed it more because I didn't know what was going to be shown.

Obsessed with Twilight? Think you're too old for this? You've come to the right place!

We are a bunch of over-thirty *cough*andforty*cough* chicks who never really meant to fall in love with Twilight... but somehow we did. Hard. Inexplicably, we've still got a lot to say about it. And other stuff. Join us!
